I thought that check in the code only applied for root adding the suffix entry. If not, it probably needs to be changed.

The addition of an entry that does not have parent is
permitted when adding as the rootdn.
(back-bdb/add.c:287 back-ldbm/add.c:240)
RFC2251 says the parent MUST exist and hence
it seems that !be_is_root() checking should be removed.
Does anyone know of reasons not to remove this ?
